“What I love most about Emma’s recipes is that they’re incomparably delicious but not intimidating to make — and that’s because she’s as great a teacher as she is a chef. This book takes all the guesswork out of cooking in the great outdoors, which makes it just as much fun as camping itself.” – Justin Fenner, Senior Editor, Men’s Journal

Gratitude

The first thing a new author learns is that, like rearing a child, it takes a village to make a book. I am indebted to so many people for their guidance, support, and contributing talents. While I’ve dedicated three pages in the book to giving thanks, I’d like to mention several noteworthy people and teams here: my compassionate, visionary and skilled mentors at Ten Speed Press;Christina Holmes (photos!), Chris Lanier (food!) and Kaitlyn Du Ross Walker (props!) for producing a visually compelling book unlike any other in the camping/outdoor category; and my husband Bobby, mother and family for giving me (and Ayla) unconditional love and support in realizing this decade-long dream.
